Gus and his team did a phenomenal job with our florals. We didn't have a definite design in mind and what they came up with gorgeous. They were also able to find out of season flow...
ers we had wanted which was unexpected, but amazing.
Gus and team are absolutely top notch. We didn’t have an exact direction but provided him a vibe and let him run with it - it came out far better than our expectations. He is truly...
a professional and knows how to transform a room. If you are lucky enough to work with him - trust his recommendations he will not steer you wrong or try to upsell you. A stand-up guy with a clear talent. We can’t thank his team enough for really making our day come together perfectly.
We cannot say enough good things about Gus and Avenue J. He's not just a great florist, but he's truly a creative artist. Our venue recommended him, and we went to him with a very ...
particular vision that is quite different than the usual wedding florals. More so than any florist we met with, he openly listened, thought for a bit, and came back with something truly special. Walking in to his shop to see our demo tablescape was magical, and it was somehow even better on our actual wedding day. Gus took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for and brought it to life. He really is an artist. His care for his clients shines through everything he does - we heard stories from our venue about him personally placing some of our stranger table decorations himself. I'm so glad we got to work with him.
For the record - he also does completely normal and beautiful florals for people who aren't as strange as we are. Those are great too - I've seen them! For any occasion where you need florals, you'd be in absolutely amazing hands with Gus and the Avenue J team.
I cannot say enough AMAZING things about Avenue J Florists. They went above and beyond to make my vision come to life and really understood everything I wanted.

pend your money on flowers, they are going to die... well DO NOT listen to them. There is a way to incorporate beautiful arrangements into your night to make your room come to LIFE. All of my guests were absolutely stunned when they walked into my reception. From the tall center pieces that cascaded down, to the mixture of candles and low florals... to the big money piece, Flowers and greenery hanging from the ceiling above my dance floor. It was a total WOW factor and was worth every penny. Our photos came out amazing because of our decor!!!
Our sample meeting with Gus went great, and we were able to tell him our likes and dislikes, not that we had many at all. But he adjusted for us and nailed it! He even brought up my ceremony arch to place behind our table. From the small details of the candles in the window and down the isle to the Big items.... everything was stunning and executed perfectly.

er several versions during the next couple months. He and his team knew exactly how to enhance every square foot of our wedding venue Liberty Warehouse, and everything from the colossal ceremony arch to the elegant escort card table display to the unique reception table trees and luxurious centerpieces to the bridal bouquet were way bigger and more gorgeous and lush than I could have imagined. When I saw everything on my wedding day, I was completely blown away and absolutely thrilled! All of my guests seem to think that I robbed a bank to decorate the venue. Gus, thank you for making all of my wedding decor dreams come true!
